is accountin ani good???like fun??/or is it pure borin??????

I don't mind it. Most people hate it. If you don't want to major in it, its 2 subjects in first year and thats all you will ever have to do for accounting. Not "fun" per se, but pretty straightforward, and interesting in some respects. I thought it'd just be a case of adding stuff up - so it's rather interesting to learn all the stuff i dont know about the world of business as we go along... Don't know about the place cutting...

accounting is not all fun and games, I provide the fun and games however =) the best thing about this semester was choosing not to go to accounting lectures, I feel liberated....the good thing about accounting is that they do the maddest lecture notes so you can learn it all at home...

like timmii said, accounting is not the best of subjects but it does provide you with some insight into the business world, especially the "accounting" definition of debits and credits

hey do u fink dat if i apply for accounting as a full fee paying student n my mark is say 2 points lower than cutoff that they would still maybe consider me ? i mean they want my parents money dont they

 

[Mordenkainen]

Sure they'll consider you. But don't give up now and pay fee-paying instead of doing your best in the HSC - there's still 3 weeks to go! Good luck

Depends on the car its usually like 12-15k a year.....so over 4 years u'll be spendin round 60k......its not THAT bad considering private skools charge at least 7grand a year.......plus u'll be getting a job afterwards and within 2-3years u wulda made that 60thousand up.if u got the money then ye its a pretty cheap option.........id say its the price of a 2nd hand car a year

hey, how much harder is accounting than actuarial?
I don't know which one to major in!
(prob accouting cuz im a bludger, and 4U is proving a little difficult)

both need a UAI of 95.5 (Bachelor of commerce)
Many people told me to do actuarial studies cuz its more exciting

Any suggestions?

Actually I think it should be the other way around. Actuarial Studies is alot harder than accounting, Actuarial is mostly maths based (so it defeinately for 3/4 unit maths students) whilst accounting has some maths in it but nowhere near the level of actuarial studies...

arrggh! man, im lost today (must have been too much studying for eco!)
yep, it's meant to be the other way around
and im posting in the University of Sydney thread when its supposed to be in UNSW!! (you can't major in actuarial in sydney, acounting yes)
sorries
but yea, i'll give actuarial a shot, and if its too difficult, i'll bludge in accounting!

i think acturial studies would be harder, i did acct at syd but no acturary....
